Vale Brian Holdcroft

With the recent passing of Brian Holdcroft we are reminded of the Club’s halcyon days of the sixties and seventies when our success was built on the production of home-grown talent.

So many youngsters came through what was then the Perth Football Club Junior Council to become successful League players that the Council was rightfully considered to be the leader in its field among all WAFL clubs.

One of the many people who contributed greatly to this success was Brian Holdcroft who, among other duties, was Secretary of the Council for a period of time in the mid-seventies. Brian was a tireless worker for junior development, his efforts being rewarded with Life Membership of the Council.

The Perth Football Club extends sincere sympathy to Brian’s son Greg, himself a Colts player for the Club, and to the Holdcroft family in their loss.
